<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 1938461, member: 71338"]I use acetone all the time, pure acetone. You can get it at CVS or other places. Use a q-tip and then dip it in acetone and lightly rub the stuff off. Don't use this technique on proof coins or probably even mint state coins (unless very, very lightly). If the coins are quite circulated and have stubborn grime, you might have to rub harder than usual. Test this technique on a few coins to get a feel for it. I've used baking soda on nickels before and it works better for those, not so much for cents or anything else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
